如何绘制三角形 3d 网格

Question

In 2d it is quite simple to plot a triangular mesh given by the vertices and the triangulation

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
T = np.array([[0,1,2], [1,2,3]])
vertices = np.array([[0,0],[1,0],[0,1],[1,2]])
plt.triplot(vertices[:,0], vertices[:,1], T)
plt.show()

Now I'd like to do the exact same thing but in three dimension, that is with eg

vertices = np.array([[0,0,0],[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[1,2,1]])

Is there a simple way to achieve that in matplotlib? (At least simpler than looping over the triangles and plotting the edges manually?)

Answer 1

You can achieve it in a very similar way using mplot3d :

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

vertices = np.array([[0,0,0],[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[1,2,1]])
T = np.array([[0,1,2], [1,2,3]])

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
ax.plot_trisurf(vertices[:,0], vertices[:,1], vertices[:,2], triangles = T, edgecolor=[[0,0,0]], linewidth=1.0, alpha=0.0, shade=False)

plt.show()
